Re: gb.web.gui debugging

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I guess it's line 67 of FDebugConfig.class

btnUseHttpServer.Enabled = Not Project.Components.Exist("gb.web.gui")

So that'll be what I'm talking about.
clearly by design if gb.web.gui is loaded enabling/disabling embedded
server is not possible.
Can't say I ever noticed it stuck on before.

It's a bug though for sure.

Because If i create a new gb.web.gui program then the embedded server
option is disabled but *NOT* selected.
I guess the option was selected on some of my other projects before you
added the code to disable the switch.

Should it be On or Off?
the code that disables the switch does not force it to be on or off, just
disables it in it's current state that may or may not have been previously
set.
